Good idea on getting the trailer setup for motorcycle use. All you need is a driver on standby to hook it up to a truck and come pick you and the bike up if it breaks. I doubt you'll need it for that though.I am of the wild and crazy opinion that a Norton 750 engine is forgiving if assembled carefully and in a clean environment. Only way they break is if they don't get enough oil to the right places or if assembled in a very dirty environment with very little attention to detail and then trashed like an inline 4.On STP use: a full container of STP would be the wrong ratio for a Norton engine. 1 or 2 ounces is OK in my use in an old air cooled Norton engine. I warm it up to where it will flow before putting any into the oil tank. It does blend in with conventional or synthetic oil. It is very clingy and lasts through a couple of oil changes. I don't add it every oil change. Mr Comstock did a little test that showed STP does not work well at all if the only lubricant. I'm thinking he doesn't use it. I have an oil squirt can with a blend of lubricants sitting on my garage wall shelf. I have squirted it into the pushrod tunnels before. I also lube my standard chain with it. The members here would roll their eyes in disgust if they knew what was in that oil squirt can.
